Client Overview

A leading B2B marketplace in the EU that connects freight shippers with thousands of independent carriers. Their existing payment process was manual and inefficient, relying on traditional invoicing and bank transfers, which caused significant delays and administrative burdens for both parties. They needed an integrated, white-label eWallet to automate payouts and streamline financial workflows.

Problem and challenges

Problem

The client needed a secure and automated payment system to handle millions of Euros in transactions each month. The solution had to be compliant with EU financial regulations (PSD2), offer multi-currency support (EUR, GBP), and integrate seamlessly into their existing platform, appearing as a native feature.

Key Challenges

key challenge

Complex EU Regulations:

Adhering to PSD2 (Payment Services Directive 2) and its Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) requirements.

key challenge

B2B-Specific Workflows:

The system needed to handle escrow-like functionality, releasing funds only after proof of delivery was confirmed.

key challenge

White-Label Integration:

The eWallet had to be fully brandable and deeply integrated into their existing web and mobile platforms via APIs.

key challenge

Multi-Currency Support:

The platform needed to manage transactions and balances in multiple currencies with transparent exchange rates.

Our Solution

Our Solution

We provided a Java Microservices Pod to build the robust backend and a Technical Documentation Pod to ensure the APIs were crystal clear for the client's front-end team.

⚖️ Regulatory-Aware Design

Our architects designed the payment flow to be fully compliant with PSD2 and SCA, working with a regulated e-money institution (EMI) partner in the EU for fund handling.

📜 Smart Contract Logic

While not a blockchain solution, the backend logic mimicked a smart contract, creating a digital escrow that held funds and automatically triggered payouts based on API calls confirming delivery status.

🔗 API-First Approach

We developed a comprehensive suite of secure REST APIs that allowed the client's internal team to build the user interface, giving them full control over the user experience while we handled the complex financial backend.

💱 Currency Layer Integration

We integrated with a third-party foreign exchange service (like Wise Platform) to provide real-time, low-cost currency conversions.

Implementation and Execution

Implementation and Execution

Phase 1 (Months 1-3):

Technology and partner selection (EMI, FX), deep-dive into regulatory requirements, and high-level architecture design.

Implementation and Execution

Phase 2 (Months 4-8):

Development of the core microservices for user wallets, transaction processing, and the escrow/payout logic.

Implementation and Execution

Phase 3 (Months 9-10):

Rigorous security testing, performance tuning, and deployment to a staging environment. The client's team began integration work using our detailed API documentation.

Implementation and Execution

Phase 4 (Month 11):

End-to-end testing with the client's front-end applications.

Implementation and Execution

Phase 5 (Month 12):

Go-live, followed by our SRE team providing hyper-care support for the first month of operation.

Implementation and Execution
